two really interesting rabbit holes

Wikipedia, with its politically biased editing and entries, and its increasingly draconian editing policies,* might be part of the woke zombie apocalypse, but it still has some interesting information. For example: how much do you really know about the parts of the Mexican flag? Did you know that Mexico's official name is, in fact, the United States of Mexico? So we have a United States right to the south of our own United States! 

Here's another rabbit hole to follow: Korean Braille. I suddenly want to learn how to read this. And learn Korean sign language. And communicate with blind and deaf Korean people. Using bad Korean. What if I proposed that all three of us in our office should learn Korean Braille, then test ourselves by trying to navigate elevators and make food based on recipes written in Braille? That might be awesome.
